I used to like writing for comedians - I enjoyed the challenge of making other people funny.

Writing humor is not something every single person can do.

Humor writing is something that comes naturally to me.

I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.

I try to write as serious as possible, and then a joke slips in.

I think humor can be an effective way of getting the point across, but there are definitely times where I just write very earnestly.

I was intentionally curbing the impulse to be funny and hiding the ability. I wrote any number of very serious attempts at poems, short stories, novels - horrible. At a certain point, I recognized that it was fun to write dialogue that had a degree of lightness and humor.

I don't think I've ever written a poem whose intention was just to be funny. I've written poems that start out funny and often shift into something more serious.

When I'm with other people who inspire my silliness or sense of humor, I'm funny. When I sit down to write, it's hard not to be funny.

It's very hard to write humor.
